This year there will be three full days of celebration with loads of fun-packed events and activities for the whole family. Whether you’re sporty, arty, musical, or scientific – or just up for a great weekend of dancing, fun fairing and hotdog munching – there’s very definitely something for you to enjoy….so come and join in!

Music
The Big Moo 2 will undoubtedly leave you with a song if not in your heart than firmly between the ears. We won’t just be dancing in the streets, we’ll be bopping all over the place. There’s live music at the Big Moo Moosic Stage in Campbell Park and on the Kik Music Stage in Midsummer Place on both Saturday and Sunday. For those of you who start the weekend as soon as Friday afternoon is over, Musik4u will be providing live music in Station Square all weekend.
 
Sport
Whether you’re an armchair athlete or a fitness fanatic, The Big Moo has something for you. For those who’d rather just watch, come and feast your eyes on National Urban Beach Volleyball, MK Lions Display, Korfball or The Inter School Cricket Tournament. If you like your sports more active, why not square up to Sports Leaders UK’s Take The Stepper Challenge, or join in the National Family Fun Run? Or just chill out with a Snowboard Simulator or Real Snow Toboggan Rides

Culture
Or maybe you’re a culture vulture? Relax …. there’ll be plenty for you to enjoy. There’s  MK Theatre Arts Workshops (Sat and Sun) and MK Gallery Family Day (Sat) for starters. And then there’s The Big Moo Fringe Festival of the Arts running all weekend bringing culture of all kinds to locations across Central Milton Keynes. Meanwhile, MK Council of Voluntary Organisations will be bringing a truly diverse range of stalls, crafts, Dance, music and sport to Campbell Park.
 
And so much more …
It doesn’t end there. The Big Moo 2 will also bring you a joyous mix of other activities with Emmett’s famous Fun Fair, The Mascot Olympics, an attempt to break our own Face Painting World Record (we need 611 of you, so get ready!), The Xscape Beach Party in Avebury Boulevard, and a whole new World Record Attempt – come and help us make the world’s longest chain of carrier bags, which will then be turned into a huge piece of public art.
